You Won't Like Lightfoot When She's Angry

You won't like what the bureaucracy does if she gets angry. Days after $1 million smash-and-grab, Lightfoot walked out of meeting with “idiot” luxury car dealer — then a city inspector showed up with a ticket book.

So there is a Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini dealership in Chicago. It was the victim of a crime in which Rolex watches were stolen.

Days after the smash-and-grab, Lightfoot walked in to Perillo’s showroom at 834 North Rush Street, where Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, and Bentley models are on display. She wasn’t there to buy.

Instead, she met with Perillo and, according to two sources familiar with the conversation, it did not go well. One said that the famously abrasive mayor “got into a fight and walked out.”

She went to meet with him because that crime got national attention, and he complained - to a national audience - about the ineffective work of both Groot (Lori Lightfoot) and Crimesha (State's Attorney Kim Foxx).

And days after the fight with Groot, city inspectors showed up to write tickets.

A day or two after Lightfoot walked out, Perillo’s dealership received another visitor from the city: an inspector from the Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection (BACP). She brought her ticket book.

Lightfoot’s spokesperson said the inspector was following up on an anonymous complaint that the city received on December 15 about a public health violation at the dealership.
